SELFIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE OK 


Posting selfies online are okay even for lawyers but not their communications with clients. It violates the lawyer-client privilege and may result in their disbarment

 - Supreme Court Associate Justice Leonen | December 14, 2022. 


“We need to preserve the confidentiality between lawyers and clients because once you post, you are actually opening third parties to your communication, which is actionable,” Leonen explained. 


“The tolerance of the Supreme Court on this has been stretched and sooner or later baka merong isa o dalawa na ma-file-lan ng disbarment case (sooner or later a disbarment case may be filed against one or two lawyers) because they actually violated attorney-client privileged,”

- he added.
